Re: New Talents?
A lot of these talents don't seem very related to me. Sure, a good prostitute would have high levels of erotic art and merchant skill, but why would they be part of a talent? They don't seem to be "closely related skills." "Talents should always be believable inborn skills."
For example: Seducer/Seductress: Acting, Carousing, Erotic Art, Fast Talk, Sex Appeal A good prostitute might have the above talent, but I don't really see how being talented in seducing people has anything to do with Streetwise or Merchant. |

For example, for the Impersonator talent I created, I started with the idea that someone could naturally be very good at impersonating others to blend in the crowd (not necessarily particular people, more like generic ones). It certainly means he can pass himself as someone else, either in attitude (acting), appearance (disguise) or voice (Mimicry). He instinctly knows how non-nobles act, enough to never be noticed (Savoir-Faire (servant), Streetwise). Finally, this ability makes him able to detect if the people he tried to fool were, and detect other phonies (Body Language). |

Re: New Talents?
Trancer: You are good at putting yourself into altered states of mind. Autohypnosis, Body Control, Dreaming, Meditation, and Mental Strength. The Autotrance perk goes well with this talent. Bonus: anyone who's impressed by that sort of thing. :-)
